Meeting Abstract P1.13 Thursday, Jan. 3 The Effects of Regeneration on Antennule Movement Patterns During Odor Tracking in the Crayfish Orconectes sanborni MEAD, K. S. *; RICHARDSON, M.; Denison University; Denison University meadk@denison.edu Crayfish rely on chemosensory appendages (antennules) to track odors to find food, mates, and habitats. The movement of their antennules in odor sampling �flicks� […]

The Contribution of Larval Energy Stores to Adult Reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster
Meeting Abstract P1.51 Thursday, Jan. 3 The Contribution of Larval Energy Stores to Adult Reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster. AGUILA, J.R.*; GIBBS, A.G.; HOSHIZAKI, D.K.; Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas aguilaj@unlv.nevada.edu The larval stage of holometabolous insects is characterized by extensive feeding. This supports the rapid growth of the animal and allows the accumulation of energy stores, primarily […]
Tests for palatability and feeding deterrence in egg masses of nine species of opisthobranch gastropods
Meeting Abstract P1.80 Thursday, Jan. 3 Tests for palatability and feeding deterrence in egg masses of nine species of opisthobranch gastropods LEWIS, S.M.*; PODOLSKY, R.D.; College of Charleston, SC; College of Charleston, SC smlewis@edisto.cofc.edu Many gastropods reproduce by encapsulating embryos inside egg masses or capsules. Often conspicuous to predators due to size, location, or color, egg masses […]
Structure-function relationships during temperature changes in the calcium binding protein calsequestrin
Meeting Abstract P1.126 Thursday, Jan. 3 Structure-function relationships during temperature changes in the calcium binding protein calsequestrin BROOKE, B.E.; HARRIS, R.C.; HOFFMAN, G.G.; GROVE, T.J.*; Valdosta State University; Valdosta State University; Florida State University; Valdosta State University tjgrove@valdosta.edu Calsequestrin (CSQ) is found in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of muscle where it sequesters and releases Ca2+ to enable […]
Stress reactivity, environment, and condition initial perspectives from a long-term data set
Meeting Abstract P1.72 Thursday, Jan. 3 Stress reactivity, environment, and condition: initial perspectives from a long-term data set PATTERSON, S. H.**; HAHN, T.P.; BREUNER, C.W.; Univ. of Montana; Univ. of California, Davis; Univ. of Montana stephen1.patterson@umontana.edu The glucocorticoid (CORT) stress response is highly variable across individuals, seasons, and populations. We are interested in the combined effect of […]
Stress in prothonotary warblers (Protonotaria citrea) in response to breeding stage and food availability
Meeting Abstract P1.77 Thursday, Jan. 3 Stress in prothonotary warblers (Protonotaria citrea) in response to breeding stage and food availability MOORE, J.R.*; WALTERS, J.R.; MOORE, I.T.; Virginia Tech; Virginia Tech; Virginia Tech s2jrmoor@vt.edu The physiological stress response of free-living vertebrates to unpredictable events, such as storms, has been a recent focus in field endocrinology. However, how vertebrates […]
Skeletal Kinematics of Upper Bill Movement During Feeding in Mallard Ducks, Anas platyrhynchos
Meeting Abstract P1.109 Thursday, Jan. 3 Skeletal Kinematics of Upper Bill Movement During Feeding in Mallard Ducks, Anas platyrhynchos DAWSON, M.M.*; METZGER, K.A.; BAIER, D.B.; BRAINERD, E.L.; Brown University megan_dawson@brown.edu Cranial kinesis in extant birds involves movement of the upper bill (maxilla) relative to the braincase at the craniofacial hinge. Here we use CTX, a new visualization […]
